Chapter 2046
Although New Yorkers like to watch the fun, they are not all fools. At least the moment they saw the wizard, the rich people left the city immediately, the farther the better.
In fact, people now have a definition of so-called superheroes.
That is, when they appear, trouble will also appear.
Of course, generally speaking, cause and effect are reversed. Superheroes only come when there is trouble. But for ordinary people, it doesn't matter. They just need to know that when they see a superhero appear, the best thing to do is to get away from him as soon as possible.
So over time, becoming a superhero will cause trouble.
Of course, modern society is information-rich and people are not as ignorant as they used to be, and they don’t regard superheroes as symbols of disaster. But except for a few superheroes who like to hang around in front of people, other superheroes are very mysterious.
For example, Spider-Man doesn't care. New Yorkers often see Spider-Man. Even if you have a small problem and ask him for help, if he is not busy, he will be happy to help you.
For example, there was a hot dog vendor who made a lot of money by asking Spider-Man to help him sell hot dogs. He even sold his hot dog sauce recipe to a food company and made a lot of money. However, this guy was still a bit capable. Although he made money, he still ran his own stall.
At the same time, he would give Spider-Man money every time he helped him sell hot dogs.
Spider-Man also accepts it... and even complains that the pay is too low.
A down-to-earth group.
This is also the reason why Spider-Man is now the most popular person in New York. After all, even Tony Stark, who never hides himself, is not very down-to-earth... He likes to eat cheeseburgers... This behavior seems down-to-earth, but in fact it is not at all. Cheeseburgers are well-known civilian food, but Tony just likes this. It seems down-to-earth, but in fact, guess what other people's cheeseburgers are?
Not to mention the bread, no matter how expensive it is, it’s not that expensive.
But those cheeses are not ordinary cheeses. They are Podolica Horseback cheese. This kind of cheese is not expensive. It is only about 120 US dollars per kilogram in its place of origin. Horseback cheese refers to cheese that is somewhat similar to the shape of a gourd. This kind of cheese has a very long history and its origin can be traced back to ancient Greece. The Podolica here refers to the Podolica cattle, a rare breed distributed in the Apennine Mountains in central Italy. The Podolica cattle are also extraordinary. During the grazing process, the cattle can eat various mountain plants, such as blueberries, rose hips, hawthorns, wild strawberries... The cows eat well, so the milk is naturally good, and the Podolica Horseback cheese produced also has a special aroma~
The production process of Podolica Cheese is very interesting. From June to November every year, the cowherds drive the cattle to the mountain pastures and make cheese as they go. The cowherds tie the cheese with ropes and hang it on racks in the mountain hut to mature. Then, at the end of November, they hang the cheese on the saddle and drive it back to the pastures on the plains with the cattle. The special shape and name of the Cheese are also derived from this process. The golden skin of Podolica Cheese is very smooth, but it will become rough and dark over time, and the taste will become more complex and intense. When mature, this cheese has a strong fruity and lactic flavor, and also contains smoke, various herbs and different plant flavors.
At the same time, the beef in Tony’s special cheeseburger is not ordinary beef.
Tony likes two types of beef the most, one of which is very famous, that is Japanese Wagyu.
Japanese Wagyu is recognized as the best quality purebred beef cattle in the world today, and can be called the Hermes of beef. Its meat has obvious marble patterns and is also called "marbled meat". Because Japanese Wagyu meat is juicy and tender, the content of saturated fatty acids in muscle fat is very low, the flavor is unique, and the meat value is extremely high, it is regarded as a "national treasure" in Japan and is extremely expensive in the Western European market. Japanese Wagyu is a very precious high-quality beef cattle breed resource. The so-called "Wagyu" refers to the black-haired beef cattle breed unique to Japan, which originated in the picturesque and beautiful Tajima area of Hyogo Prefecture in Kansai, Japan. The mountains and fields here are also rich in various herbs. Many pastures where cattle are usually grazed are mixed with some unknown herbs growing in the green grass. "Wagyu" grows up slowly in this environment, eating herbs and drinking mineral water. It is said that Wagyu cattle enjoy the best treatment in the world during their growth process. They have to "walk" in the fairyland-like pasture every day to maintain a small amount of physical activity. The breeders must also play some beautiful music that Wagyu cattle like to adjust their mood and create a relaxed and happy growth environment for them. The breeders also use a specific formula. " (I think it's nonsense)
In addition to grass, the food they feed also includes barley and pure grain feed. They also need to bathe the cattle with hot spring water every day. In order to prevent the Wagyu from having a loss of appetite and to promote their normal eating and ensure their normal intake of nutrition, the breeders will feed them beer at regular intervals and in fixed quantities. In addition to the mysterious breeding methods, Wagyu also pays great attention to the purity and quality of their bloodline. Usually, they can only give birth to the next generation in their own ethnic group, and cannot mix in any other bloodline. Hybridization and cloning technology are absolutely prohibited.
The selection of "Wagyu" is very strict. Generally, the cattle slaughtered are high-quality Wagyu cattle that are over three years old and weigh about 500 kilograms. They must be "virgin cows" because once a female cow has been mated, its meat will have a slight milk smell. In addition, there are strict and standardized systems for judging and selecting meat quality. Each cow must go through a series of evaluations such as color comparison, fat mixing rate, fineness and uniformity of patterns. (The author is poor and has never eaten Wagyu... No, I have eaten it, but I just heard others say that it is Wagyu, which is very good, but the author is ignorant and really can't tell how delicious it is. Anyway, there is only one word to describe it, damn, delicious! That's it, I don't know if it's true, and I didn't pay for it. Anyway, I believe whatever he says. I'm treated to a meal by others, so what can I be picky about? But I really don't understand, is it really as delicious as it is hyped?)
Another type of beef Tony likes is less well-known... at least in the world. It's the native American Padina beef.
Padina beef comes from a special breed of cattle in Texas, USA, which is considered one of the most expensive beef in the world because its muscle texture and taste are different from other breeds. Padina beef is often praised for its richness and unique flavor.
Of course, the price is also very touching.
And Tony doesn't eat out casually. Basically, his burgers are made by his own private chef. The cost of one is about a thousand US dollars... Is this something that ordinary people can afford? A burger costs a thousand US dollars, and that doesn't even include the labor cost!
Is this called being down to earth?
Do you really think the super rich eat junk food like you?
Forget it.
At least there aren't many naive fools in New York.
On the contrary, Spider-Man is really down-to-earth. When Iron Man is free, the most you can see him is flying through the sky, but Spider-Man will really come to you.
One of the stories is the most widely circulated on the Internet.
There was a guy who was bullied at school and the bully stole all the toilet paper.
As a result, the guy screamed in anxiety.
Then Spider-Man brings him paper…
Coming back to the point, most superheroes come with troubles.
This time, with so many mages appearing at the same time, many sensitive people simply ran away.
But most people can't.
Because if you stop working, you won’t be able to eat!
The latest poll shows that more than one-fifth of Americans have no savings, and another one-fifth said they have less than $1000 in their bank accounts. When asked about the amount of money held in their personal savings accounts, 22% answered "no savings at all", another 20% "less than $1000 in savings", 38% have deposits between $1000 and $2, and only 20% have more than $2 in cash. In addition, 23% of respondents said they only have a few days' worth of savings left to pay for basic living expenses, indicating that the financial situation of some Americans is already precarious.
Many people say that Americans don’t like to save money and have no habit of saving… but that’s not the case. The reason why ordinary Americans don’t have savings is not because they don’t like to save money, but because they simply can’t save it! The United States is a society of pre-consumption. They never care how much money they make. As long as they like something, they must buy it. If they don’t have enough money, they will take out a loan or apply for installment payment. In order to be able to spend pre-consumption better, Americans invented credit cards. They can swipe them however they want, from houses and cars to mobile phones and computers, all of which can be paid in installments. Americans are the kind of people who will do anything to satisfy their current happiness. They satisfy themselves today first, and the debts they owe will be repaid by themselves tomorrow.
This is one aspect. On the other hand, the taxes and insurance in the United States are too harsh. In the United States, if you don’t have a house, you have to rent a house. If you rent a house, one-third of your monthly salary will be paid to the landlord for rent. The rent in the same city in the United States is about three times that in China. If you have a house in the United States, you have to bear property taxes and property fees. The property fees and property taxes in the United States add up to about 3%, and even if you don’t pay the property fees, the property can forcibly auction your house and drive you away. The property rights of houses in the United States are permanent, but you have to pay every year. If you don’t pay for a year, your house is no longer yours, and your land is no longer yours. Therefore, ordinary families in the United States can’t save much money even if they want to save money. They can’t even take out their children’s college tuition and need various loans to raise tuition.
Ordinary people have no way to seek refuge… There is no way. If you run away today, you might lose your job, and then your bills will be ruined. Then your credit will be ruined, and it will be difficult to find a job if your credit is ruined.
Especially in New York, the cost of living and consumption levels are much higher than other cities in the United States.
Unless a disaster really strikes, ordinary people really don’t dare to run away for refuge like the rich!
So the poor can do whatever they want, this is also the kind of broad-mindedness that people in New York have. There is no way around it because there are so many superheroes. Even if there is a big incident, they believe that they have superheroes to protect them... After all, many big incidents have happened in the center of the universe, but there are very few casualties each time, unless they are really unlucky... But if they are so unlucky, they may not be safe if they run away.
There were also many people who specially ran over to watch the fun, which made it difficult to comment on.
There are people seeking death everywhere, especially in New York.
Gu Yi was obviously a little unhappy when he saw the helicopters and the idle people watching the excitement. He waved his hand, and everything disappeared like a dream.
Everything entered the mirror space.
One group of mages desperately dug in the ruins of the temple to rescue the magic items, while another group of mages searched around for the magic items that were blown away. Those items were too dangerous, and once they were taken by ordinary people, who knows what accidents would happen.
Mordo is the craziest among them.
He wants to find Strange!
He personally brought Strange to the New York Temple, but...if something really happened to Strange, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
“Don’t die… don’t die… don’t die!”
At first he used magic to dig, but later he just used his hands.
Fortunately, Strange had some luck and was dug out.
At the last moment, he saved himself and then wrapped himself in the levitation cloak. Although he was seriously injured, fortunately he did not die... Of course, it will be almost over now.
"Teacher! Quick! Strange is not dead! He is not dead! Save him!"
Mordo was very happy. He picked up Strange and rushed towards Ancient One.
Ancient One's reaction was not that excited. To Ancient One, Strange was a good candidate for successor, but only a candidate. Before he took over as the Sorcerer Supreme, although Ancient One would give Strange some preferential treatment, he would not treat him differently in essence... There was no way, Ancient One had selected many candidates over the years, and many of them died... He had already trained himself well.
The dead candidate is no different from any other mage.
This is the experience of an old wizard who has lived for hundreds of years. There is no other way... If you devote your heart and soul to each one and then lose it, anyone would go crazy.
Therefore, Ancient One treats the candidates he chooses with a normal attitude. After all, no matter how talented they are, they will be nothing if they die!
Ancient One glanced at Strange and cast a spell...but it didn't cure him.
Spells are not omnipotent. Besides, as I have said before, healing spells are very dependent on talent. If you know how to use them, you will have them. If you don’t, you won’t have them!
The same goes for the Supreme Sorcerer.
"Call 911 and send him to the hospital!"
Well, the Kamar-Taj wizard needs 911 too.
"what?"
"Ah what? I'm not proficient in healing spells!"
No way, this thing really requires talent! If you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it!
